B. Various functions of digital system
Different from the conventional analog copiers, this machine employs
the digital system where the image data of a document scanned by
the CCD sensor (which converts photo signals into electrical signals)
are converted into digital signals. This digital system allows the inde-
pendent zooming copy, black-white reversing copy, and centering
copy.
